Twins We Pray (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

Left, to my right,

another half

 

As two we’re whole,

on different paths

 

My cloudless sky,

your world in shade

 

Whose peace endears,

my war invades

 

Our grass once greener,

turns to brown

 

A soul we share,

now turned around

 

Symbiotic,

twins we pray

 

Conjoined in conflict,

—hearts forayed

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)

 

 

 

Too Late

 

Once the wolf is through the door,

—it’s too late to turn the lock

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)

 

 

 

 

Now Fly Within

 

“It’s almost time,”

the Angel said

 

Last image dancing,

in my head

 

“The gate unlocked,

the pearls alive”

 

Both wings she opened,

time proscribed

 

“Just one look back,”

I asked in vain

 

“All past is gone,”

her voice proclaimed

 

“Your place awaits,

all time rescinds

 

My wings your gift,

—now fly within”

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
